Space Station to Make a Holiday Appearance

From Times Wire Reports

If the weather cooperates, the International Space Station should be visible to the naked eye at various times during the holidays from the continental United States, NASA said in Houston.

On Christmas morning, the orbiting station should be visible during the predawn hours slowing crossing the sky, NASA said. That day, a Russian cargo ship carrying supplies is scheduled to dock with the station.

I learned lots of new things in this article. :)
